Parkway West High School Reviews
Rating 3.91 out of 5 243 reviews
I’m a junior at Parkway West High School in Ballwin, MO, and so far, it has been a great experience. The teachers at the school certainly push students to do their best. Not only that, but most of them try to help as much as they can within the course. While there are always going to be a few mishaps at each school, Parkway West does a great job at helping their students grow from every experience throughout their high school career. Even through a pandemic, the school has not stopped their pursuit of encouraging students to find their path in life. Whether it’s for high school or college, they want you to excel. The only issue I have had is not receiving enough info about college prep. However, I have used my own resources to figure this out. The school has great lunch services, fun elective courses, and a wonderful staff. Extracurriculars are great too; our sports teams are very competitive and clubs are always intriguing. Overall, Parkway West is a spectacular high school!
Overall my experience with Parkway West High School has been positive. I transferred to West as a sophomore, and I have been very pleased with my experience so far, as there are many things I feel the school is doing very well. Most importantly, Parkway West gives lots of post-high school opportunities. For example, I was able to meet with a Dartmouth admissions officer in my counseling office; the school provides "college visits" with admissions officers weekly from many schools. I have also had good experiences with the extracurricular options at West. It was very easy for me to join Speech and Debate, and a variety of other clubs. I felt that everyone already involved in these clubs were very supportive of newcomers and are passionate about the clubs. However, one thing that I would like to see change is more vocalization promoting all the different activities and clubs West has to offer. I had to seek these clubs out myself, and I think more students would join if it was promoted.
Hi, my name is Anna Malchanava,
My High School experience allowed for me to grow as a person and think about my future! Due to the amazing staff and teachers who I can call them friends at this point, helped me to push through and get involved! Parkway West High School offers a lot of opportunity's for anyone and everyone attending including getting involved in different clubs, sports, art and music programs. If it wasn't for the people I met and education I received, I wouldn't be where I'm at right now! I'm so excited to see where the future takes me and it's all thanks to the community that makes Parkway West High School the best!
